This is true only so long as employees are actually producing things. Case in point: I'm working for a tiny company building an internal tool for a very very large company because their internal team isn't getting the job done. Hard questions are being asked, but not of us.

Maybe things were different in the days of zero APR free money being thrown left and right at companies to keep growing, but I don't think we'll see a return to that any time soon.
